Irony

I find it ironic that African Americans celebrated the election of Obama as a symbolic victory for the civil rights movement, while they voted in droves to rescind civil rights for California's gay population. How soon the oppressed become the oppressors.

I have not voted Republican in the last three presidential elections, and I think Greg Mankiw captures the reasons quite succinctly. And heck, I didn't go to Harvard. I just hope the Republicans find their way out of the social conservative woods, back to their fiscal conservative roots. Or maybe they spend the time studying a map of the world with Gov. Palin?
